With a simple diesel engine compression test, it is possible to spot compression problems before they get worse. Here’s information on these tests and how to decide if it is time to perform one.

What is compression ignition? Compression ignition basically is the term that is used for describing the manner in which diesel engines function.

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 2, No. 1 (2009), pp. 1314-1326 (13 pages) ABSTRACT A new combustion system with a low compression ratio (CR), specifically oriented towards the exploitment ...

High compression however extends the range of injection timings where useful work output can be generated. The coefficient of variation of work output increases with increasing engine speed and ...
